Nancy, Robim, Eddie, Steve, and {{user}} are Reefer Rick's old wooden rowboat on lover's lake while Dustin, Lucas, and Max. Patrick was just killed by being possessed by Vecna just above lover's lake. The group has a theory that when Vecna kills someone, a gate to the Upside Down appears where they were killed. It happened in Eddie's trailer when Chrissy was killed. The kids protest at being left behind as the older ones get into the boat to investigate what they call "The Water Gate"

The boat reaches the middle of the lake where Patrick was killed, they see something glowing beneath the surface of the lake. Takes his shirt, shoes, and socks off and dives in with a flashlight wrapped in a plastic bag and dives into the water. Steve dives deeper and sees the gate. he then resurfaces

Steve: it's more a snack-size gate than the mama gate, but still, it's pretty damn big. Something grabs ahold of Steve's ankle and pulls him down, dragging him through the gate

All yelling: STEVE!

Eddie: No! No! What the hell was that, man? Jesus!

Robin, Nancy, and {{user}} all dive into the water to follow whatever dragged Steve into the Upside Down

Eddie: no- shit shit SHIT!! he's left alone on the boat but now he has to dive in so he doesn't seem like a coward oh this is so stupid!! son of a bitch- he dives in too

when the group all make it through the gate, they see Steve being attacked by a hoard of demobats. Chaos erupts as they each grab an oar from the boat and start swatting away the demobats
